The full horror of a second-term Most Equal Comrade on display

Fully take in his "I've-got-a-pen-and-a-phone" remark from yesterday.

Of course, there is the naked disdain for the Constitutional separation of powers.  But there is also the meat of what his intentions are.  A role for government in deciding trends of economic activity ("advanced manufacturing").   Hiring the long-term unemployed.  I guess that kind of dovetails with the government involvement in economic-activity trends - probably involves "job training" for those whose skills have atrophied due to the dismal economic climate caused by the regime's regulatory stranglehold.

Perhaps the phrase that makes me bristle the most is "if we're all working in the same direction."  Most of us have other ideas, pal.  Most of us consider your "direction" poisonous in the extreme.
